During the Giffoni Film Festival in Italy over the weekend, where she accepted the Lifetime Achievement Award, the former "Friends" star was asked by a teenage fan if she's ever woken up wondering who she was.

We're all human beings at the end of the day, whether we're a waitress or a baker or a student or whatever we are, at the end of the day you kind of can hit walls and think, 'I can't go any farther.' Or, 'this is too much. My heart can't take it' or 'the pain is too great,' or 'am I good enough? Will I survive?' And you just have to sort of somehow miraculously overcome. You just go, 'I can't, yes I can, yes you can.'

"The objectification and scrutiny we put women through is absurd and disturbing," she wrote. "The way I am portrayed by the media is simply a reflection of how we see and portray women in general, measured against some warped standard of beauty."
